Any time a fuse opens or blows, it is an indication of a circuit that has an amperage load too great to safely carry. To prevent the wires from heating and possibly igniting, the fuse or circuit breaker opens to stop the flow of electricity. The fuse or circuit breaker is selected based on the size of the wire at the time the wire was installed, and it should not be changed to a larger value. The only way to correct the problem is to correct any problem with the appliance if it is rated at or below 80% of the circuit breaker or fuse amp rating. If it is greater than 80%, relocate the appliance to a location served by a circuit equal to or greater than 80% or the appliance amperage rating. You may need to install a new circuit capable of supplying the amperage requirements of the appliance if relocating the appliance is not an option. Never install higher amperage fuses or circuit breakers to "solve" a blowing fuse or circuit breaker problem.
